As of December 31, 2000, AMG held investments in 15 such Affiliates, collectively managing $77.5 billion in assets. The company's business model focuses on acquiring majority stakes in these firms, allowing their management teams to retain significant ownership and operational autonomy while benefiting from AMG's capital and strategic support. In 2000, AMG's revenues saw a decrease primarily due to a significant reduction in performance-based fees compared to a strong 1999. However, asset-based fees from existing Affiliates and the recent acquisition of Frontier Capital Management Company, LLC provided some offset. The company manages its debt through a credit facility and is exploring future capital needs for further investments, highlighting a strategy heavily reliant on acquisitions for growth. Significant intangible assets, including goodwill, represent a substantial portion of AMG's balance sheet, with ongoing amortization impacting results.
